This is an 8* COAST-TO-COAST EXPRESS on the Atlanta Hawks.

We don't subscribe to any single handicapping methodology, but instead feel that being flexible with ones approach is the best way to secure profits over the longterm. Sometimes we keep it simple, while other times we'll take into account numerous different factors, like motivation, scheduling and significant injuries. Recognizing classic "spot bets" is something we always do as well, IE: the "look ahead" spot, the "let down" spot and the "trap" game. One set of criteria which we always use when making our decisions are Against The Spread (ATS) statistics.

This particular play is based primarily on strong/relevant ATS statistics and common sense:

As note that Minnesota is just 6-12 ATS in non-conference games this year (also interestingly, just 1-5 ATS against the Southeast division), while ATL is 13-5 ATS in non conference games (and interestingly, 5-1 ATS agains the Northwest division.

The bottom line: With a game tomorrow night in Toronto, it's not too difficult to impinge the visitors in some small way getting caught looking past their lowly non-conference opponent tonight. Atlanta on the other hand will be desperate as its lost six of ten, including three straight. The numbers and the overall situation all do indeed point to the HAWKS as the savvy call in this one.
